In 1986, Neerja Bhanot, an Indian flight attendant, helped save more than 350 people during the hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73. She was shot dead by Palestinian terrorists while protecting passengers.

In 2026, Smit Machchhar, an Indian pilot, helped save 180 people on Flydubai Flight FZ1073 from an Omani co-pilot who attacked him. He was stabbed and critically injured, but despite his injuries, he unlocked the cockpit door before collapsing.

Flydubai flight FZ1073 took off from Dubai to fly to Israel. There were around 180 people on board, and most of the passengers were Israelis.

After some time, while the aircraft was flying at cruising altitude, its altitude suddenly started changing.

The aircraft dropped by thousands of feet in seconds. For the passengers inside the cabin, it felt like the plane was suddenly losing control.

Because the aircraft was heading towards Israel and the situation initially looked like a possible hijacking, Israeli fighter jets were scrambled.

But the real danger was not outside the aircraft. It was happening inside the cockpit. The co-pilot attacked and stabbed Captain Smit Machchhar, an Indian national and the pilot of the flight.

Even though Smit Machchhar had been attacked and was seriously injured, he managed to reach the cockpit door and unlock it before collapsing.

That one action gave the passengers and other crew members a chance to enter the cockpit. People then rushed towards the cockpit.

The passengers physically restrained the attacking co-pilot and moved him away from the controls. At the same time, there were other pilots who were travelling as passengers. They helped the crew regain control of the aircraft.

The aircraft was eventually diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, where it landed safely.

The co-pilot's name has not been publicly disclosed yet. It has only been reported that he is an Omani national.

Authorities are investigating what happened inside the cockpit, why the confrontation began, and exactly how the aircraft's controls were affected during the incident. They are also investigating whether it was a deliberate attempt to crash the aircraft and whether it was an act of terrorism.

An Indian man, Captain Smit Machchhar, helped prevent a major disaster and save hundreds of lives. He is seriously injured and is now in hospital. Praying for his speedy recovery.
